When I was hanging drywall piece rate back in the mid 80's we did a bunch of rock over old plaster, back before screws were even invented. (LOL) 2" drywall nails through the plaster into the joist.

DYI hint: get the sheets tacked up on the ceiling using nails so you don't have to mess with screws while trying to position the sheet. Nail the perimeter and screw the field.
